The relocation to greater Seoul represents the next step in the company\u2019s long-term commitment to the Korean market and strengthens Steelwrist\u2019s ability to support customers and business partners locally.<\/p>\n<p>Located in the greater Seoul area, the new facility includes warehouse capacity, customer support, service, workshop as well as possibilities for product and technical training. The expanded capabilities will support Steelwrist as the company continues to develop its position in South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea is a well-established market for rotor couplers, while penetration of tiltrotators and fully automatic quick coupler systems remains relatively low compared with several European markets. Steelwrist sees significant long-term opportunities to further develop the tiltrotator market in Korea, supported by a strong local organization, close customer relationships and access to the company\u2019s advanced product solutions.<\/p>\n<p>During the inauguration weekend, visitors were able to experience Steelwrist products through live machine demonstrations and facility tours. The event showcased the expanding XTR third-generation tiltrotator range, the QuantumConnect control system, Steelwrist work tools, and the Open-S industry standard for fully automatic quick couplers where the new SQ40 coupler is highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an important step for our team here in Korea and something we have been looking forward to. The new facility brings us closer to many of our customers and dealers and gives us much better possibilities to support them with service, training and product knowledge. We believe there is a great opportunity to further develop the tiltrotator market in Korea, and I am very pleased that we now have an even stronger platform from which to grow together with our customers and partners,\u201d says Jongchul Chun, Country Manager Korea at Steelwrist.<\/p>\n<p>The inauguration was hosted by the Steelwrist Korea team together with colleagues from the wider Steelwrist organization. Steelwrist CEO Stefan Stockhaus, incoming CEO Jon Lind and VP Region APAC Peter Lam were also present for the opening and customer activities. The presence of both Stefan Stockhaus and Jon Lind underlined continuity as Steelwrist prepares for its next phase of development. Jon Lind will formally assume the role of CEO on November 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The investment in South Korea forms part of Steelwrist\u2019s continued development of its global operations and maintaining the leading position in the APAC region. As the company grows internationally, increased local presence, improved customer support and closer cooperation with dealers and OEM partners remain central to Steelwrist\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n<p>With the new Dongtan facility in operation, Steelwrist Korea is positioned to support continued market development and bring the company\u2019s complete range of tiltrotators, automatic quick couplers, control systems and work tools closer to Korean customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><strong>For more information please contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Stefan Stockhaus\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Karl Serneberg<br \/>\nVD\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 VP OEM Sales &amp; Marketing<br \/>\nSteelwrist AB\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Steelwrist AB<br \/>\nstefan.stockhaus@steelwrist.com\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0karl.serneberg@steelwrist.com<br \/>\nTel +46 709981321\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Tel +46 702619811<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><i><strong><br \/>\nAbout Steelwrist<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/i><i><\/i><i>Steelwrist is a global manufacturer of tiltrotators, quick couplers and work tools for excavators with headquarters in Sweden.
